2025 Belle II Summer Workshop

23 Jun 2025, 07:00 → 27 Jun 2025, 19:00 America/New_York

Cascades (Inn at Virginia Tech)

Leo Piilonen (BELLE (BELLE II Experiment))

Welcome to the 2025 Belle II Summer Workshop hosted by Virginia Tech. This workshop will be primarily face-to-face (with a SpeakApp connection for those who cannot attend in person). The venue will be the Inn at Virginia Tech.

The purpose of this workshop is to help students, postdocs, and more senior researchers get started and make progress on Belle II analyses, either studying a physics channel or studying detector performance. It will cover physics topics, computing, software and professional development in a hands-on tutorial format.

This workshop is open to all Belle II collaborators and we welcome attendance from across the collaboration.

SpeakApp connection: speakapp.link/to/Tio1Cg

On-campus internet is provided by eduroam.
